Sometimes my fingers get stuck in a position. I can be picking up something and my finger will get stuck and I can get it back if I shake my hand. I doesn't feel like a hand cramp it just feels really uncomfortable. I use to rarely happen, but now it happens just about everytime I do something with my hand, like today I was cooking and it happened about six times its always my thumb, index, or pinky finger. If makes my hand looked deformed. For example You know the shape your hand makes when your eating with silverware, my hand will get stuck like that even after I dropped the sliverware. About hour ago I was carrying a gallon of water and my index finger stuck and and I could not bend it at all. I tried shaking it because usually that works, but it didn't go back to normal. It was stuck like that for twenty minutes until it started to hurt really bad. My mom had to force it to bend and it hurt like hell it felt like my hand was breaking. If anyone knows what this is help!!!

This is something like a joint problem. It means that your joints are overworked (or there's a problem) and they catch in a bad position. Go see a massage therapist as soon as you can, then a chiropractor. I get this in my pointer finger occasionally in the same situations. Getting it assessed is a good idea, that way you will know whether or not you need to see a doctor or physiotherapist. A massage therapist that is registered and certified can feel for abnormalities and swelling in the joints. Chiropractic also helps to align possible joint functions. (If it's more serious you will need to go to the doctor so you don't end up with arthritis problems.

This happens to me sometimes. I believe it is because I am double jointed in my fingers. I have not tryed it with my toes, and it has not happened accidentally. If it is painful and happens often then bring it up to your doctor. He can exray your hand to make sure all is normal and your not suffering from an early onset of arthritis.
I had a friend who was in Tall flags, kinda like cheerleading, and she was already arthritic. She was able to live with it and got alot done!

Have an MD evaluate you for possibilty of MS.
An Osteopathic doctor would be great.
